Nottingham Goods - Dave Barrett

1883 Challenge Entry

The layout is intended to show a small corner of the Midland
railway Goods Station in Nottingham as shown in the Bumper Preview
issue of Midland Record. The time period is set prior to 1923. Some
alteration will be made to suit the conditions of the competition.

The layout was originally intended as a diorama for photographing
wagons etc. It has been extended to suit the project and to allow for
shunting by means of a cassette type fiddle yard. One warehouse has
had to be substituted by something less tall to allow the boards to be
boxed together and carried in a car.

One warehouse will be open at the side to demonstrate the loading
and storage systems in use on the railway. The wagons/vans can be
delivered to the sheds for unloading! loading and removed to
sidings. It wilt be even better if someone comes up with a powered
horse.
